The cross at Lake Bridgeport

Information about these camps typically arrives at local churches in March.  Many camps fill-up very fast!  It is best to register immediately after the registration forms are released.  Online registration is the fastest way to register.

The Conference usually offers three camps in June and July for students that have completed grades 3 to 5 in the spring.   The camps usually begin on Tuesday at 3pm and conclude on Saturday at 10am.   The camps are held at Camp Bridgeport.  The cost is approximately $185.

SEEK Camp

The Conference offers four camps for persons with disabilities.  SEEK stands for Summer Events for Exceptional Kampers.  The camps serve persons with a wide range of different disabilities.  Some campers have uncomplicated mild cognitive delays.  Other campers have complex clusters of symptoms that include major cognitive and motor delays and related medical problems.  The Children’s camp is usually held in late June. 

Our own Rev. Kathleen Baskin-Ball has directed one of the SEEK camps.  Rev. Wally Butts, our former Associate Pastor, and Rev. Kathleen Baskin-Ball have served as the Camp Pastor.   Several Suncreek UMC members have attended a SEEK camp as participants, junior counselors, or counselors.

The North Texas Conference offers two Music/Arts camps each summer.  The Children’s Music/Arts Camp is for those that have completed 3rd though 5th grade in the spring.   The Youth Music/Arts Camp is for students who have completed grades 6 to 8.   The camps typically begin on a Sunday and end with a performance on Saturday morning.  For more information contact our Minister of Music.
